About this listen

Can 10 dares help Melinda loosen up, conquer stress, and find love? Or will they push her over the edge?

Melinda Spencer had everything, but now her life has fallen apart. Her two best friends, Mikey and Joanie, are worried. Melinda’s been acting even more highly strung than usual. They decide to stage an intervention. Something to help her lighten up and take her mind off things: 10 crazy dares. After all, they say laughter is the best medicine.

Never one to squelch on a dare, Melinda accepts her challenge. The dares look simple enough: knock on a door and run away, tend her lady garden, flash a stranger...and if it gets Joanie and Mikey off her back about loosening up, it’ll be worth it. But with a sexy vet, a troublesome ex, and a village full of nutters hot on her trail, has Melinda finally bitten off more than she can chew?

10 Dares is a hilarious romp about a strung-out single mum trying to hold everything together when life is throwing her lemons as curve balls. This stand-alone romantic comedy has a happy ending and no cliff-hanger and can also be enjoyed as part of The Power of Ten Series.

What a fun and crazy group of friends. This book might have taken just a bit to get my full attention but I really enjoyed it after all. Poor thing goes through some pretty embarrassing and aggravating situations. The narration was great, lots of enthusiasm. I recommend this series. No cliffhangers.

I accidentally started with this book, but I don't think it made a difference. But totally listen in order and to all 3 books in this series! Melinda is having to start her life over after her Ex-husband runs off with another woman. Its not actually the starting over part that's hard, its the fact that shes on a time crunch. I just can't get over how organized this woman is and where she finds the energy with all that's on her plate. She's like my hero! The dog, best friends and 10 dares will keep you laughing for the entire story and you will not want to put this down, great job Emily James! I must say at first I was thrown off by the accent but Kim Bretton does an amazing job narrating this book making you laugh and keeping you smiling throughout the book.

From the beginning, as Melinda recounted the events of the prior evening, I smiled or giggled constantly. The laughs only got bigger as the story progressed. This is my first book by Emily James but I am totally going to read or listen to the other stories in this series. There was a perfect mix of emotion, as you feel bad for what Melinda had to go through, and humor, as she let her hair down to experience life after the divorce (full of wardrobe malfunctions). I really liked “the Viking”, aka the vet, aka Toby. The secondary characters, especially her friends, are awesome and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

I requested and received the audiobook. Kim Bretton was a fantastic, high energy narrator with the perfect accent. She has good overall control of her voice so she is able to play multiple characters. She sounded like she was having so much fun reading the book. I loved the narration.

Hilarious!

I did not read 10 dates and I did feel as if I missed out on some inside things, but I still was able to enjoy this book. Melinda cannot turn down a dare and her friends know it. In order for her to get out of her funk, her friends give her 10 dares she must complete. Emily james takes us along for the ride as Melinda completes the dares. Melinda shocked me as she completed many of the dares, and a few were laugh out loud crazy. I was so happy to have taken this ride with Melinda. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Kim Bretton has an easy to listen to voice. She narrated at a good pace and was easy to follow.Kim brought Melinda to life. She made the story fun and light with her narration. Overall, this was a fun listen.

This is a fantastic follow up to 10 dates. Brilliantly narrated by Kim Bretton who entices you into the story with her wonderful character performances. You feel like you know each character personally and can’t wait to hear the next chapter of the story. Can’t wait to listen to 10 lies!

The narrator made this book for me!

With the wonderful, resilient, optimistic Mel, along with Mikey and Jo steering her ship of dares, Emily James has brought us another delightful, very funny series of mishaps, adventures in village-land and a gorgeous Viking sized vet. I have laughed so much and generally had my spirits lifted, both by the story and by the excellent narrating skills of Kim Bretton. Totally fabulous 💖💖💖💖💖

Fantastic fun!

10 Dares is the second book in The Power of Ten series and I loved it. This novel was hilarious, steamy, fun and sweet and I was hooked from beginning to end. This romantic comedy had delightful, engaging main characters you can't help but love, quirky amusing secondary characters, humorous witty banter and a storyline that was realistic and relatable. I could not put this book down and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of romantic comedies.

I listened to the Audible version of this novel which was narrated by Kim Bretton. She did a fantastic job infusing humor and emotion into the story. She created varying voices for the different characters and brought the story to life. It was a pleasure listening to her narrate this novel.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun with great characters, great banter and great chemistry. I found myself laughing out loud with Melinda and her antics. The narrator was new to me but I loved her voice and her British accent.
